Have you ever wondered which area of the United States would suit you best? There are a lot of factors to take into account when looking at the different regions: climate, culture, and most importantly, food. If you aren’t sure where to take a summer job or where your spring break food road trip should start, take this quiz to find out where your food interests can take you:

What does your ideal restaurant look like?

There has to be a patio, preferably with a view of the ocean
Definitely decorated with cow horns and Johnny Cash posters
Don’t care–as long as the food is good and they serve sweet tea
Quaint and colonial. Patrons should be wearing Vineyard Vines
I love seeing pictures of the owners past and present! Also the staff should know my order by heart

When you want a Coca-Cola or Pepsi product, what do you ask for?

Soda, but hey, say whatever floats your boat. No worries, dude
Soda. Duh. Everyone knows that.
Pop! Don’t you think that just sounds so much nicer?
I think it’s perfectly acceptable to respond with “Sprite” when asked what kind of Coke I want
Coke. It’s the biggest “soda” corporation, and as we all know, bigger is better

How do you feel about deep fried food?

I prefer raw, organic, vegan foods to be honest. Pure diet, pure body, pure mind
It’s the only way I’ll eat vegetables. Deep fried okra? Count me in
Oooh, you HAVE to try toasted ravioli. Really, it’ll change your life!
In general, it seems kind of redneck. Unless you’re talking about clams, of course
At our state fair–the biggest in the US of A–we deep fry butter. ‘Nuff said.

When you’re having a hankering for good ole fashioned BBQ, what’s your go-to?

“Old fashioned” isn’t really my thing. A modern interpretation of BBQ could be good, especially if they use tofu
Baby-back ribs smothered in a tangy sauce, accented with burnt ends. I live off that stuff
Pulled pork, vinegar-based sauce, and hush puppies with a side of grits. Please and thank you, ma’am
Does grilled lobster tail count as BBQ?
Anything that comes from a cow

What kind of food gets you really excited?

You can’t beat fresh seafood for dinner, and homemade maple syrup is my go-to at breakfast
My grandma’s pecan pie is the best dang thing you’ll ever try. Trust me
BBQ. Beef. Red meat in general. The bigger the cut, the better
Hm, I can’t decide between deep dish pizza and gooey butter cake. They’re both so good, I don’t want to leave one out!
My perfect meal would start be a salad with plenty of avocado followed by an acai bowl for dessert
